In this paper, we propose a tunable coordinated multi-band absorber that combines graphene with metal–dielectric–metal structures for the realization of multiple toward perfect absorption. The parametric inversion method is used to extract the equivalent impedance and explain the phenomena of multiple-peak absorption. With the change of the Fermi level, equivalent impedances were extracted, and the peculiarities of the individual multiple absorption peaks to change were determined. By changing the structure parameters of gold rings, we obtain either multiple narrow-band absorption peaks or a broadband absorption peak, with the bandwidth of 0.8 μm where the absorptance is near 100%. Therefore, our results provide new insights into the development of tunable multi-band absorbers and broadband absorbers that can be applied to terahertz imaging in high-performance coordinate sensors and other promising optoelectronic devices.
