Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'output' (information produced by a device) combined with 'signal' (an electronic transmission) yields a signal produced and sent out by a system. This noun–noun technical compound follows common, cross-linguistic compounding patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Output signal comes from the simple idea that output is what a machine gives out and a signal is a small message or sign. Imagine a box that takes information in, changes it, and then sends a light or sound out. That is the output signal, so the phrase means the message a system 'sends out' after it uses the input.
