How to minimize parasitic components(inductor and capacitor) come inaction at RF frequency in PCB fabrication ?
What is their effect on circuit ?
and How can the minimize ?
Sir, can you suggest me any book or application notes so I can clear my basic regarding this ?
To minimise parasitic capacitance in PCB:
1. Reduce the trace length with respect to the ground plane directly below it
2. Increase the gap space between adjacent traces running in parallel
3. Avoid the use of vias
To minmise parasitic inductance in PCB:
1. Increase the gap space between adjacent traces running in parallel
2. Avoid the use of vias
3. Do not run traces between two planes (of different grounds)
You may increase the electric power supply or make ground plane to minimize radiation of bottom and use multi-layer PCB , Material's board should inactive to working frequency .
Depending on the circuit's frequency of operation, you might consider utilizing the parasitic R, L & C of the substrate to your benefit, and set up a transmission line.
If you are about a few tens of MHz, you can make those type of structures work for you, rather than against you. Check out Microwaves101.com, or, more directly **broken link removed** (perhaps microstrip, or maybe stripline).

With no reference to what frequency range/rise times the OP's signal is operating at, I can't give a good answer. If it's getting up there, simply making a proper TL structure can solve a LOT of issues. The digital folks I work with learn that from time to time (especially when they forget to set up their lines properly, and their jitter performance falls apart) :wink:
Make sure you separate your CW and Pulsed designs. You mentioned 'jitter' which implies a system with a very fast pulse rate. Those rules for design are little bit different from microwave design (CW).
Another tip for designing RF and Microwave boards is to always try to use high Q elements. Also make sure you check the SRF's too.
