Relativistic integral representation in terms of experimental neutron-proton scattering phase shifts alone is used to compute the charge form factor of the deuteron G{sub Cd}(Q{sup 2}). The results of numerical calculations of {vert_bar}G{sub Cd}(Q{sup 2}){vert_bar} are presented in the interval of the four-momentum transfers squared 0 {<=} Q{sup 2} {<=} 35 fm{sup {minus}2}. Zero and the prominent secondary maximum in {vert_bar}G{sub Cd}(Q{sup 2}){vert_bar} are the direct consequences of the change of sign in the experimental {sup 3}S{sub 1} - phase shifts. Till the point Q{sup 2} {approx_equal} 20 fm{sup {minus}2} the total relativistic correction to {vert_bar}G{sub Cd}(Q{sup 2}){vert_bar} is positive and reaches the maximal value of 25% at Q{sup 2} {approx_equal} 14 fm{sup {minus}2}.
