My guess is that they try and do it purely from the timing of the pulses.
Similar to the way LORAN works, you would have a hyperbola of possible locations and you could probably narrow it down by aggregating over multiple radar sweeps.

But I suspect that would become increasingly difficult as the number of targets increases, or when being interrogated by multiple radar heads.
