This paper presents an exact method of determining the orthonormal radiation modes of multilayer planar dielectric waveguides. To assure the orthogonality, a simple method is also developed to determine the quasi-odd and quasi-even modes in the full radiation case. These methods are suitable for computer programming, and will serve as basic consideration for further development of the Mode Propagation Method.
