Because the emitter is grounded, even if sometimes via a resistor, this transistor configuration is referred to as a Common Emitter amplifier. In this circuit ... is close to linear, but ...

The base forms the input and its bias circuit is identical to that of the common emitter amplifier ... that keeps it in its region of an almost linear relationship between small base current ...

The transfer characteristic of a BJT common emitter (CE) amplifier is ... function is approximately linear, is considerably widened. This paper shows that a transistor with an emitter degeneration ...

Called ADA4098-1, its rail-to-rail input shows a strong Linear Tech legacy, and even carries ‘Over-the-top’ branding. The amplifier can run from ... a pair of pnp input stages (see diagram). The Q1 ...
