\begin{abstract}
In order to obtain a better estimate of a quantity being measured, several sensors having different characteristics can be merged with a technique called ``sensor fusion''.
The obtained ``super sensor'' can combine the benefits of the individual sensors provided that the complementary filters used in the fusion are well designed.
Indeed, properties of the super sensor are linked to the magnitude of the complementary filters.
Properly shaping the magnitude of complementary filters is a difficult and time-consuming task.
The obtained ``super sensor'' can combine the benefits of the individual sensors provided that the magnitude of the complementary filters used in the fusion are well shaped.
Properly designing complementary filters is a difficult and time-consuming task.
In this study, we address this issue and propose a new method for designing complementary filters.
This method uses weighting functions to specify the wanted shape of the complementary filter that are then easily obtained using the standard \(\mathcal{H}_\infty\) synthesis.
This method uses weighting functions to specify the wanted shape of the complementary filter that are then easily obtained using the standard \(\mathcal{H}_\infty\) synthesis on a specific generalized plant.
The proper choice of the weighting functions is discussed, and the effectiveness and simplicity of the design method is highlighted using several examples.
Such synthesis method is further extended for the shaping of more than two complementary filters.
Such synthesis method is further generalized to a set of more than two complementary filters.

\section{Sensor Fusion and Complementary Filters Requirements}
\label{sec:orge37bf43}
\label{sec:orgeeb9584}
\label{sec:requirements}
Complementary filters provides a framework for fusing signals from different sensors.
As the effectiveness of the fusion depends on the proper design of the complementary filters, they are expected to fulfill certain requirements.
These requirements are discussed in this section.
