Method and apparatus for eliminating deadband effects in digital recursive filters caused by rounding of the quantization of products within the filter, wherein the product is represented by a digital word, consists of truncating the absolute value of the product-representing word to the next lower digit by dropping a number of least significant digits determined by the value of the multiplier and if any of the dropped digits is a "one", adding a least significant "one" to the truncated number while retaining the sign of the pre-truncated word, and repeating the process at the cycling frequency of the filter, until a steady state is reached at which the difference between the input and output of the filter becomes zero. The concept is described as embodied in a digital system utilizing a recursive filter for reducing noise in a color television signal.
