Dynamic phased array resonator systems and methods for determining a material substance

A method for detecting a material in an external environment, the method comprising:

• transmitting an electromagnetic signal at a resonance frequency into the external environment, wherein the signal is within the super low frequency (SLF) range and has a resonance frequency that corresponds to the material to be detected, and phase and amplitude of the signal are adjusted prior to transmission;
• receiving a response signal from the external environment at a phased array antenna assembly, wherein the phased array antenna assembly includes a plurality of phased array elements controlled by a phase shifter that tunes the phased array elements to the SLF range and a dynamic adjustment algorithm stored in and executable from memory to steer a directional beam formed by the plurality of tuned phased array elements and adjust a beam direction based on dynamic real-time feedback thereby increasing signal strength at the resonance frequency;
• processing the response signal using a detection algorithm to detect resonance characteristics at a receiver unit that includes a machine learning module trained to isolate and identify signals from the external environment at the resonance frequency;
• and
• outputting an identification of the material when the resonance characteristics indicate a presence of the material in the external environment.
