Our conclusions are drawn in the final section. +** Mohit's Introduction :noexport: +The sensors used for measuring physical quantity often works well within a limited frequency range called as the bandwidth of the sensor. +The signals recorded by the sensor beyond its bandwidth are often corrupt with noise and are not reliable. +Many dynamical systems require measurements over a wide frequency range. +Very often a variety of sensors are utilized to sense the same quantity. +These sensors have different operational bandwidth and are reliable only in a particular frequency range. +The signals from the different sensors are fused together in order to get the reliable measurement of the physical quantity over wider frequency band. +The combining of signals from various sensor is called sensor fusion cite:hua04_polyp_fir_compl_filter_contr_system. +The resulting sensor is referred as "super sensor" since it can have better noise characteristics and can operate over a wider frequency band as compared to the individual sensor used for merging cite:shaw90_bandw_enhan_posit_measur_using_measur_accel. + +Sensor fusion is most commonly employed in the navigation systems to accurately measure the position of a vehicle. +The GPS sensors, which are accurate in low frequency band, are merged with the high-frequency accelerometers. +Zimmermann and Sulzer cite:zimmermann92_high_bandw_orien_measur_contr used sensor fusion to measure the orientation of a robot. +They merged inclinometer and accelerometers for accurate angular measurements over large frequency band. +Corke cite:corke04_inert_visual_sensin_system_small_auton_helic merged inertial measurement unit with the stereo vision system for measurement of attitude, height and velocity of an unmanned helicopter. +Baerveldt and Klang cite:baerveldt97 used an inclinometer and a gyroscope to measure the orientation of the autonomous helicopter. +The measurement of the 3D orientation using a gyroscope and an accelerometer was demonstrated by Roberts et al. cite:roberts03_low. +Cao et al. cite:cao20_adapt_compl_filter_based_post used sensor fusion to obtain the lateral and longitudinal velocities of the autonomous vehicle. + +Sensor fusion is also used for enhancing the working range of the active isolation system. +For example, the active vibration isolation system at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) cite:matichard15_seism_isolat_advan_ligo utilizes sensor fusion. +The position sensors, seismometer and geophones are used for measuring the motion of the LIGO platform in different frequency bands cite:hua05_low_ligo. +Tjepkema et al. cite:tjepkema12_sensor_fusion_activ_vibrat_isolat_precis_equip used sensor fusion to isolate precision equipment from the ground motion. +The feedback from the accelerometer was used for active isolation at low frequency while force sensor was used at high frequency. +Various configurations of sensor fusion for active vibration isolation systems are discussed by Collette and Matichard cite:collette15_sensor_fusion_method_high_perfor. +Ma and Ghasemi-Nejhad cite:ma04_frequen_weigh_adapt_contr_simul used laser sensor and piezoelectric patches for simultaneous tracking and vibration control in smart structures. +Recently, Verma et al. cite:verma21_virtual_sensor_fusion_high_precis_contr presented virtual sensor fusion for high precision control where the signals from a physical sensor are fused with a sensor simulated virtually. + +Fusing signals from different sensors can typically be done using Kalman filtering cite:odry18_kalman_filter_mobil_robot_attit_estim, ren19_integ_gnss_hub_motion_estim, faria19_sensor_fusion_rotat_motion_recon, liu18_innov_infor_fusion_method_with, abdel15_const_low_cost_gps_filter, biondi17_attit_recov_from_featur_track or complementary filters cite:brown72_integ_navig_system_kalman_filter. +A set of filters is said to be complementary if the sum of their transfer functions is equal to one at all frequencies. +When two filters are complementary, usually one is a low pass filter while the other is an high pass filter. +The complementary filters are designed in such a way that their magnitude is close to one in the bandwidth of the sensor they are combined with. +This enables to measure the physical quantity over larger bandwidth. +There are two different categories of complementary filters --- frequency domain complementary filters and state space complementary filters. +Earliest application of the the frequency domain complementary filters was seen in Anderson and Fritze cite:anderson53_instr_approac_system_steer_comput. +A simple RC circuit was used to physically realize the complementary filters. +Frequency domain complementary filters were also used in cite:shaw90_bandw_enhan_posit_measur_using_measur_accel, zimmermann92_high_bandw_orien_measur_contr, baerveldt97, roberts03_low. +State space complementary filter finds application in tracking orientation of the flexible links in a robot cite:bachmann03_desig_marg_dof, salcudean91_global_conver_angul_veloc_obser, mahony08_nonlin_compl_filter_special_orthog_group and are particularly useful for multi-input multi-output systems. +Pascoal et al. cite:pascoal00_navig_system_desig_using_time presented complementary filters which can adapt with time for navigation system capable of estimating position and velocity using GPS and SONAR sensors. + +The noise characteristics of the super sensor are governed by the norms of the complementary filters. +Therefore, the proper design of the complementary filters for sensor fusion is of immense importance. +The design of complementary filters is a complex task as they need to tuned as per the specification of the sensor. +In many applications, analytical formulas of first and second order complementary filters are used cite:corke04_inert_visual_sensin_system_small_auton_helic,jensen13_basic_uas. +However, these low order complementary filters are not optimal, and high order complementary filters can lead to better fusion cite:jensen13_basic_uas,shaw90_bandw_enhan_posit_measur_using_measur_accel. + +Several design techniques have been proposed to design higher order complementary filters. +Pascoal cite:pascoal00_navig_system_desig_using_time used linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) cite:boyd94_linear for the design of time varying complementary filters. +LMIs were also used by Hua et al. cite:hua04_polyp_fir_compl_filter_contr_system to design finite impulse response (FIR) filters for the active vibration isolation system at LIGO. +Plummer cite:plummer06_optim_compl_filter_their_applic_motion_measur proposed an optimal design method using the $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}$ synthesis and weighting functions representing the measurement noise of the sensors. + +Although various methods have been presented in the literature for the design of complementary filters, there is a lack of general and simple framework that allows to shape the norm of complementary filters. +Such a method would prove to be very useful as the noise of the "supper sensor" and its dynamical characteristics depend on the norm of the filters. +This paper presents such a framework based on the $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ norm minimization. +The proposed method is quite general and can be easily extended to a case where more than two complementary filters needs to be designed. +The organization of this paper is as follows. +Section [[*Complementary filters requirements][2]] presents the design requirements of ideal complementary filters. +It also demonstrates how the noise and robustness characteristics of the "super sensor" can be transformed into upper bounds on the norm of the complementary filters. +The framework for the design of complementary filters is detailed in Section [[*Design formulation using $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ synthesis][3]]. +This is followed by the application of the design method to complementary filter design for the active vibration isolation at LIGO in Section [[*Application: Complementary Filter Design for Active Vibration Isolation of LIGO][4]]. +Finally, concluding remarks are presented in Section [[*Concluding remarks][5]].
