  The deuteron tensor polarization component T_20(Q^2) is calculated by
relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics approach. It is shown that in the range of
momentum transfers available in to-day experiments, relativistic effects, meson
exchange currents and the choice of nucleon electromagnetic form factors almost
do not influence the value of T_20(Q^2). At the same time, this value depends
strongly on the actual form of the deuteron wave function, that is on the model
of NN-interaction in deuteron. So the existing data for T_20(Q^2) provide a
crucial test for deuteron wave functions.
