The technical study of metamaterial broadband perfect absorbers is gradually gaining widespread attention in the ongoing research. Due to its different aspects such as high absorption, frequency selectivity and ease of design, its application in various fields is showing more and more possibilities and prospects. In this research project, we propose an ultrabroadband, polarisation-insensitive metamaterial terahertz absorber based on an umbrella absorption cell that can be used as a far-infrared absorber, which uses tungsten (W) refractory metal as the absorber layer. From the results of our simulations, we can see that the absorber can achieve an absorption bandwidth of 3.3-15 THz, and the average absorption of the absorber can reach more than 99.0%. The absorber has a large absorbance in the far-infrared band and can be considered as a far-infrared absorber.
