A measurement system is described, comprising a sampling clock unit, a travelling wave sampler circuit and at least a first analog-to-digital converter and a second analog-to-digital converter. The sampling clock unit is configured to generate a sampling timing for the travelling wave sampler circuit. The travelling wave sampler circuit is configured to receive an input signal. The travelling wave sampler circuit is further configured to provide at least a first time-discrete intermediate signal and a second time-discrete intermediate signal and to sample the first and the second time-discrete intermediate signal with the same sampling timing. The first analog-to-digital converter and the second analog-to-digital converter are configured to receive the first time-discrete intermediate signal sampled and the second time-discrete intermediate signal sampled, respectively. The first analog-to-digital converter and the second analog-to-digital converter are configured to output a first digitized output signal and a second digitized output signal, respectively. Further, a method for operating a measurement system is described.
