Signalen is the definite singular form of signal, so it means the signal.
- en signal = a signal

Swedish usually adds the definite ending to the noun itself, instead of putting a separate word like the in front.
Why does signal take -en at the end?
Because signal is an en-word in Swedish.
For most common-gender nouns:
