Default Z-1100 zener specs or equivalent?

Does anyone have a specification sheet or info on the International
Rectifier Z-1100 zener diode? OR do you know of an equivalent that would
short high voltages while present high resistance to to low voltages. I'm
needing two of them for a receiver antenna muting circuit.


How high a voltage do you want to shunt?
What frequencies are you operating at?
How much current do you need to dump?

Those three things are all you need to specify a zener.
