This paper presents results of extensive analysis of mode excitation observedduring the operation of the Alfv\'{e}n Eigenmode Active Diagnostic (AEAD) inthe JET tokamak during the 2019-2020 deuterium campaign. Six of eighttoroidally spaced antennas, each with independent power and phasing, weresuccessful in actively exciting stable MHD modes in 479 plasmas. In total, 4768magnetic resonances were detected with up to fourteen fast magnetic probes. Inthis work, we present the calculations of resonant frequencies $f_0$, dampingrates $\gamma < 0$, and toroidal mode numbers $n$, spanning the parameter range$f_0 \approx$ 30 - 250 kHz, $-\gamma \approx$ 0 - 13 kHz, and $\vert n \vert\leq 30$. In general, good agreement is seen between the resonant and thecalculated toroidal Alfv\'{e}n Eigenmode frequencies, and between the toroidalmode numbers applied by the AEAD and estimated of the excited resonances. Wenote several trends in the database: the probability of resonance detectiondecreases with plasma current and external heating power; the normalizeddamping rate increases with edge safety factor but decreases with externalheating. These results provide key information to prepare future experimentalcampaigns and to better understand the physics of excitation and damping ofAlfv\'{e}n Eigenmodes in the presence of alpha particles during the upcoming DTcampaign, thereby extrapolating with confidence to future tokamaks.
