I am trying to create a high voltage pulse at approximately 200 to 220V, at 5MHz. I have explored a few ways to do this using op amps, and multistage amplifiers using transistors, however I am trying to go about this using the most simple method possible.
My idea is to use a transformer from a wall outlet.
The outlet power in North America is 120VAC 60Hz, so I would need a transformer with Pri-120VAC to Sec-220VAC, but I cannot find one like this anywhere after searching on google for a while.
I read that transformers can be used backwards, so I'm hoping the following will work for me. It has multiple primaries and secondaries listed. How does one go about selecting between those?

Because I am trying to get a specific frequency, I think it is necessary to convert the 220VAC 60Hz, into 220VDC so that I can control a square wave form at a specific frequency using a switch. I found the following article which seems to be able to do this, but I am clueless as to what component values would need to be manipulated.

I've drawn a cartoon to help show what I'm trying to do. It'd be nice if I could get away with simply using some type of battery, however I doubt they make transformers that go from ~9V to 220V. Any advice is appreciated.
