How to Evaluate Emitter Resistance of BJT?

Emitter Resistance of BJT evaluator uses Emitter Resistance = Small Signal/Signal Current to evaluate the Emitter Resistance, Emitter resistance of BJT suggests that for a small signal, the transistor behaves as a voltage-controlled current source. The input port of the controlled current source is between base and emitter and the output port is in between collector and emitter. Emitter Resistance is denoted by Re symbol.
