Paper proposes an approach for improving the complex amplitude parameter estimation in the standard parametric spectral analysis methods.  This approach allows to adjust the estimated complex normalized frequency values slightly aiming to improve the estimation of the amplitudes.  The method was tested for a mono-frequency signal and for a signal with 4 harmonic frequency components.  The test signal length was justified by testing the additive noise for attaining the appropriate probabilistic characteristics.  It was shown that proposed method can improve the estimation quality via the Prony's method drastically, letting it exceed the quality of the matrix pencil method in some cases.
