It could very well be an integrated RF amplifier, not just a simple transistor. It would have the required biasing circuitry internally, and only need to be supplied DC power decoupled from the RF output, and that appears to be what's happening here (unless there's more going on outside the picture, can't see where that DC trace is going, does it go direct to the power supply or are there some biasing resistors in series?).
Unfortunately I haven't had any luck with that SMD marking.
But yes, an RF transistor would need proper biasing to operate in the linear region.
