TCAS and SSR

Your radar is sweeping at let's say 1 revolution per second. As it comes around towards (say one twentieth of a second from)aircraft A, nearby aircaft B interrogates A with TCAS. A makes a return to B but also to you. Then your radar hits A and it makes a second return. How does your radar distinguish between the two returns 18 degrees apart from aircraft A?
