Signal Resistance = Threshold Voltage/Base Current
Rs = Vth/IB

Why input resistance of a transistor is low?

While using a transistor, the emitter-base junction is always forward biased and the collector-base junction is always reverse-biased. Due to it, a small change in emitter current. This means that a small signal voltage variation at the input of the transistor produces a large emitter current variation. This showed that the input resistance of a transistor is low. Since the collector is reverse-biased, it collects all the charge carriers which diffuse into it, through the base. Due to it, a very large change in collector voltage shows only a small change in the collector current. This shows that the output resistance of the transistor is high.
