    Relativistic integral representation in terms of experimental neutron--proton scattering phase shifts is used to compute the charge form factor of the deuteron G_Cd(Q^2). The results of numerical calculations of |G_Cd(Q^2)| are presented in the interval of the four--momentum transfers squared \mbox 0 \leq Q^2 \leq 35\:fm^-2. Zero and the prominent secondary maximum in |G_Cd(Q^2)| are the direct consequences of the change of sign in the experimental ^3S_1 -- phase shifts. Till the point Q^2 \simeq 20 \;fm^-2 the total relativistic correction to |G_Cd(Q^2)| is positive and reaches the maximal value of 25% at Q^2 \simeq 14 fm^-2. Predictions for the related Jefferson Lab experiments are discussed.
