How to find the AC-parameters of a common base amplifier practically?

How to find input resistance?We connect a potentiometer between the emitter and the input capacitance (Ci) as shownin Figure 6-4.Figure 6-4Then we start to change the resistance of the potentiometer box until the emitter voltage(V
E
) reduced to half of the first value (when R 
potentiometer
= 0
Ω
).We should change the resistance from 0 up to the value which obtains the last condition,then; these resistance indicates the input resistance.
•
 
How to find the output resistance?We connect the potentiometer box between the output capacitor (Co) and ground as inFigure 6-5.Figure 6-5The we start to change the potentiometer box resistance from high value down to somevalue at which the output voltage equal to half of that value before connecting thepotentiometer. At this point; the resistance of the potentiometer box is equal to the outputresistance.
