Oct 21, 2021 at 12:12 comment added Andy Brandi In the case of your schematic, it is hard to tell without context. Maybe they are disregarding the BE junction and placing an actual resistor \$R_{in}\$ in there, which would then be the input resistance of the circuit. This would be valid for large input voltages. Or maybe it is really supposed to be the small-signal input impedance. In any case, for the general common-emitter circuit (as can be seen here), the large-signal \$R_{in}\$ is definitely not constant.
