Given the function $f(x)= \frac{ \sqrt {3}}{2}\sin 2x-\cos ^{2}x- \frac{1}{2}$, $x\in R$.
(1) Find the minimum value and the smallest positive period of the function $f(x)$;
(2) In $\triangle ABC$, the sides opposite to angles $A$, $B$, $C$ are $a$, $b$, $c$ respectively, and $c= \sqrt {3}$, $f(C)=0$, if $\sin B=2\sin A$, find the values of $a$ and $b$.
