Aug 7, 2017 at 13:05 comment added G36 No, CC output resistance = (r_pi/(beta+1))||RE if we ignore R1,R2
Aug 7, 2017 at 12:59 comment added lucenzo97 @G36 But that last equation (r_pi + (beta+1)*RE) applies for CC output resistance, right?
Aug 7, 2017 at 12:35 comment added G36 Rin = R1||R2||r_pi (with CE across RE or without RE at all) The input resistance with RE and without CE capacitor is Rin = R1||R2||(r_pi + (beta+1)*RE)
Aug 7, 2017 at 9:54 comment added LvW When you have a sum of two quantities C=A+B and B is much smaller than A, the you can perhaps live with the error by letting C=A. In the world of electronics nothing is correct by 100% because we ALWAYS neglect some effects. But depending on the specific application and the allwowed simplification error you have to decide if you may neglect the influence of on quantity - or not.
Aug 7, 2017 at 9:49 comment added lucenzo97 @LvW I don't quite get what you mean..
Aug 7, 2017 at 9:46 comment added LvW The answer is simple: Write down the input resistance for all cases you are intersted in (with/without RE or CE). And then - as a second step - use real values and see if the base-emitter resistance plays a major role (lets say > 10%) or not.

Aug 7, 2017 at 9:04 comment added Andy aka You say that "Emitter resistor will be most probably bypassed by capacitor" and this is just not true. Then you say "so emitter can't really have much influence on small signal input impedance" and this is also not true. Your claims and your questions are not obviously separated enough to make an answer. Clean up your question and don't make false assertions.
Aug 7, 2017 at 8:25 comment added lucenzo97 @Andyaka But how? Capacitor to ground from emitter lead equals as grounded emitter for small signal analysis, right? Why else would emitter resistor be bypassed. And I didn't muddled up anything...
Aug 7, 2017 at 7:16 comment added Andy aka The emitter resistor is NOT "most probably bypassed by capacitor" at all and this claim is putting me off answering because it seems you have things muddled up. I'm not sure what your question is based on your false claim.
