periodogram for 200 Hz sample rate returns 129 array length

why periodogram for 200 Hz sample rate, for 1 second, returns an array lenght of 129, if called without parameters. why it's not 100
signal = linspace(0,3000,200)'; %this is 1 second of my signal (200 because that's the sample rate)
[x,y] = periodogram(signal,[],[],200);
x

Hi sam,
signal = linspace(0,3000,200)'; %this is 1 second of my signal (200 because that's the sample rate)
[x,y] = periodogram(signal,[],[],200);
numel(signal)
Because signal is only 200 elements and nfft is set for default, nfft will be (according to periodogram)
nfft = max(256,2^nextpow2(length(signal)))
The default for "freqrange" is 'onesided', in which case with nfft = 256, x will have length nfft/2 + 1 = 129 (also on periodogram)

I don't know what you mean by "100 Hz and not 129 bins," as in I don't know how you're relating Hz and bins. In the original code, the periodogram was computed as
signal = linspace(0,3000,200)'; %this is 1 second of my signal (200 because that's the sample rate)
[x,y] = periodogram(signal,[],[],200);
The resulting frequency vector y has
numel(y)
129 bins and the final frequency in y is
y(end)
100 Hz, which is what happens when nfft is even and freqrange is onesided. With nfft even, numel(y) will always be odd when freqrange is onesided.
In the new code
[x,y] = periodogram(signal,[],199,200);
the frequency vector has 100 bins
numel(y)
but the final frequency point is just short of 100 Hz
y(end)
which is what happens when nfft is odd and freqrange is onesided.
