I would create an array of the objects. It's not a matter of throwing away
arrays or hashes but better organization of your data into objects rather
then layers of data in hashes and array will just make things easier.

For example

sig_array = Array.new
while index < num_signals
  sig  = Signal.new
  sig.id = ...
  ...
  sig_array << sig
end

Just clear the array when you want to drop everything

sig_array.clear
