These satellites are likely too small to support a proper positioning system. They would need the radio transmitters, power system, and clocks all redesigned at which point you have an entirely new satellite.
I see different size estimates for these satellites but none of them suggest it would be hard for them to spend 10 watts on an atomic clock and 50 watts on a constant transmission. Am I forgetting something?

You can't just slap on a significantly simpler antenna?

I have no idea here.
