What type of signal are you referring to?
Generally speaking, data on a LAN originates at a PC or server and is tranferred along the transmission media (be it copper, fibre optic or wireless) to the destination.

The best way to learn about it is to do a google search on the OSI model.
Here's one link that will help. http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ito_doc/introint.htm

You have to separate hardware from software. Signals on the wire is hardware. They are generated by sending low voltage electrical charges thru copper wire.
You don't have a lan until you can talk thru software to hardware to hardware to software to the other person. Its the OSI model. People are application. Hardware is physical [+ layers 2/3 depending on hardware]
Give a person a fish you feed them for a day. Ask a person to internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.
