Hi,

if you need the frequency, amplitude and phase of a sampled sine wave 
there is a solution without correlation, nonlinear fit or interpolation 
in the frequency domain. It works with damped sine waves as well.

You just have to solve a linear system of equations.

See https://www.dsprelated.com/showarticle/795.php
with links to Matlab code.

Cheers
Detlef
