Abstract
The deuteron form factors are calculated in the framework of the relativistic
nucleon-meson dynamics, by means of the explicitly covariant light-front approach. The
inflluence of the nucleon electromagnetic form factors is discussed. At 
(GeV/c)2 the prediction for the structure function A(Q2) and for the tensor
polarization observable t20 are in agreement with the recent data of CEBAF/TJNAF.
