An observer-based fault-tolerant control method is proposed for a linear system with sensor saturationconstraint. Considering the linear system with simultaneous actuator faults and sensor faults, the sensor saturation would bring the output measurement error of the system, which would result in the estimation performancedegradation. Firstly, the intermediate estimator is modified to estimate the system states and fault signals at thesimultaneous time, and the fault-tolerant controller is designed based on the estimation to compensate the effectof actuator faults effectively. Through Lyapunov stability analysis, the sufficient conditions are obtained to ensurethe states of closed-loop system to be uniformly ultimately bounded. The effect of sensor saturation error can besuppressed by adjusting some specified parameters directly without introducing any performance index. Finally, theeffectiveness and superiority of the proposed method are verified by a simulation example
