The paper introduces an adaptive algorithm for estimating the frequencies of harmonic components in the signal against the background of additive white noise. This method is iterative, which distinguishes it from the periodogram and parametric spectral estimation methods. The key feature of the algorithm is that it gives a reasonably accurate estimation only for the preset number of harmonic components included in the signal under study. In the original discrete signal, a frequency search was performed at each time sample using the gradient descent method. Frequency estimation is made when the frequency error value tends to a certain value. The search is based on the representation of the value of the current sample of the harmonic signal of a known frequency through the two previous values. Knowing the number of components included in the original signal sequence, it is possible to form the resulting sequence containing only residual noise samples. A mathematical model of the algorithm is given, its work is simulated for different conditions of application, the accuracy of the algorithm, i.e., frequency estimation, and the number of iterations for various signal-to-noise ratios are shown
