BJTs are mostly used in common emitter, sometimes common collector configuration. I rarely see common base. When would you use a BJT in common base? For instance, what parameters are different from common emitter?

A common-base configuration is characterized as having near-unity current gain (with significant voltage gain) and a relatively low input impedance. Typical applications would include RF power amplifier (50Ω source) and the upper transistor in a cascode configuration, where it is used for isolation.
