We use the Zeeman substates of the hyperfine energy states 52 S 1/2, F =- 2 and 52P3/2, F1 = 2 of 87Rb D2 line to form a A-type EIT scheme. The EIT signal is obtained by scanning the probe light over 1 MHz in 4 ms with an 80 MHz arbitrary waveform generator. More than 97% transparency and 100 kHz EIT window are observed.
